Six Feet Under

So I just finished watching Six Feet Under for the first time. Coincidentally it’s the show’s 20th anniversary. I always knew of the show’s existence. However, I kinda avoided it because it never really sounded like my thing. I decided to give it a try because the timing seemed right. I was pretty instantly hooked and sucked in. All the actors and characters were great. Pretty wonderfully cast and constructed. The performances were top notch. The show did a great job just examining life and death and what those things put people through. It was a little depressing at times because the series makes you think about your own mortality. But the writing is so good you just keep on pushing on. I watched the series pretty quickly (2 months) for me. I generally take forever to finish a show. I started The Shield over two years ago and I still haven’t finished. So I think the fact I couldn’t stop watching, and put other shows on hold, speaks to how good it was. And of course the finale was really as great as they said it would be. They wrapped everything up well. The closing sequence was really quite beautiful and moving. I give the series 10/10.
